The Best Of Twitter’s Reactions To SMTOWN’s Legendary Halloween Party

Fans of SM artists took over Twitter on October 31 as they enjoyed this year’s Halloween party, also known as SMTOWN Wonderland!

Many of the top 10 worldwide trending topics that evening were about the event, including #SMTOWNWONDERLAND trending at No. 2, just below #HappyHalloween.

The annual bash featured many memorable moments this year, and the agency has already shared official photos from the event. There were also plenty of images and videos coming in live — although it was a bit hard to decipher them at first.

The biggest mystery of the year was who was underneath that adorable Groot costume! “Groot” even trended worldwide as people wondered which SM artist it could be, and so many memes were born around Groot’s endearing dedication to the event and struggles in the outfit.

Speaking of SHINee’s Key, this year was also the birth of “Keydemort” when he dressed up in an incredible Voldemort costume. Although he wasn’t able to attend at first, he created cardboard cut-outs of himself to send to the event, which his group mate Onew helpfully showed off to everyone. Key later stopped by to take photos with the cut-outs.

Key’s wasn’t the only “Harry Potter”-inspired costume this year, as Girls’ Generation’s Sunny came dressed as Nagini. Fans imagined a match-up between these two sets of SMTOWN artists from past and present parties!

Joy was dressed as the character "Moo-myeong" from the 2016 South Korean horror film "The Wailing". The film was a critical and commercial success and has a 99% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Love that Joy chose a specifically South Korean cultural reference like she did last year. pic.twitter.com/48nJFJjUZj

Fans sometimes aren’t 100 percent sure what the artists are referencing with their costumes, but this interpretation for Super Junior’s Donghae could definitely work (others are guessing he may be the protagonist of the film “Crows Zero”).
